Sobre IBD

Only a generation or two ago illegitimacy was one of the most shameful things that could happen in a family.In the Family Way tells secrets kept for entire lifetimes: long-silent voices from the workhouse the Magdalene Laundry or the distant mother-and-baby home. Anonymous childhoods are recalled spent in the care of Dr Barnardo or a Child Migration scheme halfway across the world. There are sorrowful stories in this book but it is also about hope: about supportive families who welcomed ’love-children’ home or those who were parted and are now reconciled. Most of all In the Family Way is about finally telling the truth.

    BThe religious communities of early modern Eastern Europe—particularly those with a mystical bent—are typically studied in isolation.

  • Unsuitable for Ladies
    Jane Robinson
    Real ladies do not travel--or so it was once said. This collection of women’s travel writing dispels that notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by women travelers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, that have not been met and overcome by these women. Life is never dull for Jane Robinson’s intre...
